A simple, straightforward book meant to encompass how a person or situation can sometimes have contradictory feelings simultaneously.

My 6 year old said the photos were nice but that she didn't "get it". We were both anticipating something a little bit "more". A short sentence about a page, or about how it can feel to have multiple feelings at once, anything. While I think the idea of the story was something that needs to be talked about with kids, I felt this one just needed a bridge of sorts to pull the message through.

Would recommend as an addition in a classroom or counseling room, where the adult would be explaining it and building a discussion around it.

I will DEFINITELY be purchasing this book for our library! I love simple way that this beautiful book introduces feelings and lets children know they can be more than one thing.

A great book about opposite emotions and feelings, A Person Can Be is a simple book about how someone can be feeling two things at once. It does not really dive into the feelings, just shows a simple illustration to match the opposing words.

Great book that explains humans are not one dimensional beings in the simplest form.

An excellent book that children will enjoy reading and looking at the fun pictures. I cannot recommend this book enough

This books is going to be a great addition to my classes bookshelf! The complexities of being more than one “label” is difficult. I like that this book addresses these complexities of being a person in a simple way. The images in the book are diverse and engaging as well. A joy to read.

A picture book with lots of drawings, very few text, and plenty to talk about.

Even as adults, we often have a hard time identifying what and how we feel. Life is not black and white, and we can be many things at the same time. This is a great book to discuss feelings and emotions with your children, and to teach and learn how to talk about them.

The visual world is simple and clean, a perfect match for the copy.

Thank you NetGalley and Kids Can Press for an Advance Review Copy.

What a great way to teach kids about emotions and feelings. Simple, cute illustrations beautifully complement the simple narration. I loved this.
